I like using it because I know mean bernie supporters " One of the users I was arguing with on this thread has this same exact mentality. It is truly sad to see someone like this in the Democratic party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farting 629 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Marilyn MonHoe said: In 2016 Clinton made up the word “Bernie Bro” in order to paint his base as being full of sexist white men. It’s a term that white washes his base and ignores the women supporters he had at the time. Currently his base is the most diverse out of the other candidates and he has more women supporters than men supporters. Therefore continuing to use this term is both racist and sexist to his mostly POC and women base of support. As you can see in this thread, there are people that don’t care about these facts and continue to use Bernie Bro to troll his supporters. It is both hilarious and sad to see. 1 hour ago, Morphine Prince said: You have to understand the context. The term “Bernie Bro” was created and is used to paint ALL Bernie Sanders supporters as sexist, racist, white men. This term erases everyone else who supports him. Centrists continue to use this term to say that Bernie’s base is only composed of white men with sexist and racist tendencies. This erases people like me and millions of others who aren’t racist, sexist, white men. 👏👏👏👏👏 Educate them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APPLAUSE4YOU 454 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 18 hours ago, Economy said: Nobody should be generalized or stereotyped for anything including a Sanders supporter You are a heavy Sanders supporter and as far as I can tell as nice and reasonable and I met others here who are too But for whatever reason he does seem to have a higher percentage of toxic followers than most politicians like Donald Trump. Maybe not in terms of racism or homophobia but in terms of overly agressive attitudes I dunno... I think the further ends of the political spectrum (both right and left) attract the most passionate and heavily opinionated people and there are some ppl that just cannot handle strong opinions in a civilized mannor . If I had to guess this is probably what's happening. Please tell me where you got this false percentage information from. I'd love to see your personal poll data of all toxic/aggressive Bernie supporters that proves the percentage is "higher" than toxic Trump supporters. I've saw a HELL of a lot of toxic Trump supporters in the past 4 years... Edit: I respect you a lot and read a lot of your opinions on this site. But let's be careful when carelessly flaunting phrases like "higher percentage" when there is actually no way to prove this. That is subjective and pulling from your experiences I assume. However, inferring there is a "percentage" is like saying there is data to back it up. I'd like to see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t that Bernie didn’t get the nom, it’s that they rigged the primaries against him. imagine being Hillary Clinton and literally losing a rigged election lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go as far to say it’s homophobic as well. The image of a Bernie Bro the mainstream media would like to portray is a toxic, aggressive, straight, and white cis-male.

You or any of the rest of the Bernie cult didn’t say anything about the sickening link that was provided here last night by another Bernie supporter. I don’t see **** like this because I don’t go looking for it and I don’t have people and friends on my timeline that post sick comments. In fact, I don’t know anyone that’s remotely close to being obsessed with any candidate like some people are here over one particular one...unless I count that one branch of my family that loves Trump.

That doesnt excuse the attitude ive seen by SOME Bernie fans. (My fave is Bernie, so dont even try) but just like with Gaga, that her fans are her biggest problem and her biggest obstacle.

I don’t know what your talking about with another Bernie supporter sharing a sickening link. If you showed it to me and it actually was disgusting without your dramatics, then yes I would disavow it. More than what I can say about you. Self awareness and personal growth does wonders for a person, perhaps you should try it sometime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
